      Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Defence the number of Defence Forces personnel and the amount of vehicles, weapons and other equipment used in the St. Patrick’s day 2008 participation by the Defence Forces in the Limerick parade; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26009/08]

      Minister for Defence (Deputy Willie O’Dea): The Permanent Defence Forces receive many requests each year to participate in St. Patrick’s Day parades throughout the country. Every effort is made to accede to each request as participation in the various parades highlights the community profile of the Permanent Defence Forces.

      The Defence Forces provided the following personnel and equipment for the 2008 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Limerick.50 Permanent Defence Forces Personnel, 70 Reserve Defence Forces Personnel, 30 Naval Service Reserve, 36 strong Recruit Platoon, 3 Air Corps Helicopters, 4 PC9 (fixed wing aircraft), 6 Mowags, 3 Artillery Guns, 2 BOFAR Anti-Aircraft Guns, 1 Ambulance and 2 Nissan Patrols containing a security party of 11 personnel.
